PFN_List_Corrupt

I've got a new 5150 (2 weeks) and have gotten the following  blue screen 3 times.

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage. PFN_list_Corrupt. Also beginning dump of physical memory. Contact tech support." I did, twice, and did not get any information about what is going on.This has happened twice while shutting down and once starting up.

Can anyone give me an assist with this?
Thanks,

Rick

    I found this

    If you do a search on http://www.google.com/microsoft.html for PFN_list_Corrupt you'll find many more.

    Hope you find something there that applies.

    Just to follow up, check your Device Manager, Run sigverif, and lastly re-seat your memory stick(s).

    Thanks for your replies. After initially being told by email tech support that I would need to reinstall my XP OS, which would be quite a task, I called tech support. The support guy had me resize my physical memory in the "Virtual Memory Window"... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Thanks again,
    Rick

    Sometimes you get a good tech that knows his/her stuff. Windows usually sets Virtual Memory at 50% higher than physical memory. Do remember if he had you increase it or decrease it?

    He had me increase it to 1024 and I'm running 4 days now with no shutdowns.
